Liars
Swans
I always get these bands mixed up. I have no idea how their sounds might differ. I only know that Michael Gira is the guy from Swans and he's a creep.
i love the mighty swans, but it took me a few attempts to dig em. their later releases are much more baroque than anything the fall have ever done; their early stuff is sonically brutal but not as caustic as the fall.
importantly mark e smith is much funnier and much stronger writer and much nastier man than m. gira. music to love, men to mostly avoid
i should get back to liars

as a lad i wondered the size of the debt saunders (The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil) owed to the fall (The Wonderful and Frightening World of the Fall).

Were these guys an influence of Pavement early on? I always get big Slanted & Enchanted vibes when I hear Slang King.

absolutely.
Malkmus loves The Fall.
i can't remember which song off S&E Malkmus said was a Fall ripoff, but the influence is there.
maybe this one...

YES.
that's the one i had in my head, but for some odd reason, i gravitated toward Conduit for Sale!
but, yes...totally Fame Throwa.
I don't know The Fall all that well, but I do like what I've heard.

That's where I'm at with the fall too. I don't think it was that long ago that they joined streaming, because I remember for years hearing slang king and looking for more on Spotify and not finding much.
Unfortunately gone are the days when I could throw a rock and hit three different record stores in my neighborhood.
Now I see more availability on streaming services so I guess I'm due for a guided malloy tour

Seems to be the definitive characteristic of this group. That, and jagged pulsation.
